Ph.D. Aalto University School of Science ABSTRACT OF THE Degree programme in Computer Science and MASTER’S THESIS Engineering Author: Péter Somogyi Title: Analysis of server-smartphone application communication patterns Number of pages: 83 Date: June 15, 2014 Language: English Professorship: Data Communication Code: T-110 Software Supervisor: Professor Jukka Nurminen, Aalto University Professor Tamás Kozsik, Eötvös Loránd University Instructor: Máté Szalay-Bekő, M.Sc. Ph.D. Abstract: The spread of smartphone devices, Internet of Things technologies and the popularity of web-services require real-time and always on applications. The aim of this thesis is to identify a suitable communication technology for server and smartphone communication which fulfills the main requirements for transferring real- time data to the handheld devices. For the analysis I selected 3 popular communication technologies that can be used on mobile devices as well as from commonly used browsers. These are client polling, long polling and HTML5 WebSocket. For the assessment I developed an Android application that receives real-time sensor data from a WildFly application server using the aforementioned technologies. Industry specific requirements were selected in order to verify the usability of this communication forms. The first one covers the message size which is relevant because most smartphone users have limited data plan.

    Technical Brief ReFS: Is It a Game Changer? Presented by: Rick Vanover, Director, Technical Product Marketing & Evangelism, Veeam Sponsored by ReFS: Is It a Game Changer? OVERVIEW Backing up data is more important than ever, as data centers store larger volumes of information and organizations face various threats such as ransomware and other digital risks. Microsoft’s Resilient File System or ReFS offers a more robust solution than the old NT File System. In fact, Microsoft has stated that ReFS is the preferred data volume for Windows Server 2016. ReFS is an ideal solution for backup storage. By utilizing the ReFS BlockClone API, Veeam has developed Fast Clone, a fast, efficient storage backup solution. This solution offers organizations peace of mind through a more advanced approach to synthetic full backups. CONTEXT Rick Vanover discussed Microsoft’s Resilient File System (ReFS) and described how Veeam leverages this technology for its Fast Clone backup functionality. KEY TAKEAWAYS Resilient File System is a Microsoft storage technology that can transform the data center. Resilient File System or ReFS is a valuable Microsoft storage technology for data centers. Some of the key differences between ReFS and the NT File System (NTFS) are: ReFS provides many of the same limits as NTFS, but supports a larger maximum volume size. ReFS and NTFS support the same maximum file name length, maximum path name length, and maximum file size. However, ReFS can handle a maximum volume size of 4.7 zettabytes, compared to NTFS which can only support 256 terabytes. The most common functions are available on both ReFS and NTFS.

  • The Control Panel and Settings in Windows 10 Most Programs and Apps Have Settings Specific to That Program

    The Control Panel and Settings in Windows 10 Most Programs and Apps Have Settings Specific to That Program

    GGCS Introduction to Windows 10 Part 3: The Control Panel and Settings in Windows 10 Most programs and apps have settings specific to that program. For example, in a word processor such as Microsoft Word there are settings for margins, fonts, tabs, etc. If you have another word processor, it can have different settings for margins, fonts, etc. These specific settings only affect one program. The settings in the Control Panel and in Settings are more general and affect the whole computer and peripherals such as the mouse, keyboard, monitor and printers. For example, if you switch the right and left buttons on the mouse in the Control Panel or in Settings, they are switched for everything you click on. If you change the resolution of the monitor, it is changed for the desktop, menus, Word, Internet Explorer and Edge, etc. How to display the Control Panel 1. Right-click the Windows Start button or press the Windows key on the keyboard + X. 2. Click “Control Panel” on the popup menu as shown in the first screen capture. In Windows 10, many of the settings that once were in the Control Panel have moved to Settings. However, there are often links in Settings that take you back to the Control Panel and many other settings that still only exist in the Control Panel. Settings versus Control Panel is an evolving part of Windows design that started with Windows 8. It is not clear at this time whether the Control Panel will eventually go away or whether it will simply be used less frequently by most users.
